Antonio Conte has thanked Tottenham’s fans for their “support and appreciation”,
while also saying he welcomed those at the club who shared his passion for football.
The 53-year old Italian left by mutual consent on Sunday after 16 months in charge,
his exit coming following a furious post-match interview on 19 March.
On Instagram, Conte said the fans had always given him vocal support. But the
“journey together has ended, I wish you all the best.”
Conte called the Spurs players “selfish” and was stinging in his criticism of the club’s
culture after his side squandered a two-goal lead as they drew 3-3 at Southampton
before the international break.
His former assistant Cristian Stellini will step up as head coach for the rest of the
season, with former midfielder Ryan Mason his deputy.
